Chapter 274: Something to Do with Project Galaxy
Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97
This aligned too perfectly with her own mother's appearance and disappearance, because she also arrived at City T 30 years ago and disappeared 12 years ago!
There had to be another similar case, other than these two. Her mind quickly connected the dots and she wasted no time to pull out all the information on Yun Ruobing.
Ruobing's father also arrived at City T 30 years ago and disappeared 12 years ago!
If this was how things were, it should be the same for one of Ee Chen's parents as well…
Xinghe quickly went to search for information on Ee Chen but was quick to realize there was suspiciously little information on Ee Chen's parents floating on the World Wide Web. Xinghe suspected someone had wiped all mention of them beforehand.
Could this be Ee Chen's handiwork? He wiped out his parent's digital existence?
Regardless, Xinghe was at least able to ascertain that Xia Meng was connected to them and probably to the mysterious Project Galaxy as well.
But what exactly was this Project Galaxy and did it have anything to do with the fact that Xinghe was now in Xia Meng's body?
Xinghe tried to contact Ee Chen but he was nowhere to be found. It was as if he had completely disappeared. There was no point locating Ruobing, the girl wouldn't know anything and even if she did, what were the chances she would tell Xinghe?
Xia Meng was even more of a mystery. Whether she was even alive or not was a mystery!
In conclusion, after sifting through everything, the only thing Xinghe could do now was to locate the thing Xia Meng's father left her.
If she was right, it should be the same as the thing Xinghe's mother left her… but where to start looking? She had no idea where Xia Meng hid it.
At that moment, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
In walked Ye Shen with a tray with a bowl of steaming hot noodles.
He gave Xinghe a warm smile, a complete opposite of the man Xinghe saw earlier in the morning. His tone was full of concern and gentleness.
"Xia Meng, how come you didn't come down for dinner? You just got out of the hospital so you have to take care of that body of yours. I had Auntie Ding cooked you a bowl of noodles, here, eat it while it's hot."
Ye Shen walked over and set the tray down in front of her.
Xinghe only then realized that night had fallen…
Her stomach was grumbling but her stomach turned when she laid eyes on this bowl of noodles.
"Aren't you hungry? Come on, dig in." Ye Shen was full of smiles but Xinghe easily saw through his charade.
The man was unbelievable. Did he think Xinghe would just accept his sudden change of attitude like the morning didn't happen? Or was Xia Meng really that obtuse of a person?
"Why aren't you eating? Is it because you are still angry at me? Or do you just look down on me?" Ye Shen played his part to a chilling effect. The questions turned into orders as his expression became laced with viciousness, "I told you to eat! Are you deaf‽"
"Get out," Xinghe commanded without even deigning to look at him, "I will eat the noodles but not when you're still around; your face ruins my appetite."
"What did you say?" Ye Shen's tone became increasingly threatening. "I'm your husband and you dare say that my face ruins your appetite?"
"If you still want the thing then get out!" Xinghe flared up, not at all afraid of him.
Ye Shen was taken aback by this sudden outburst.
He narrowed his eyes as this woman who was his wife and realized the woman was… different.
The fear in her eyes whenever he was around was gone, and there was now fierceness in them…
Could attempted suicide really be such a life-changing experience that it strips away even fear?
Ye Shen was cowed because if she really committed another suicide then he could bid that thing farewell. Since she had the courage to do it once, there was nothing stopping her from doing it again.
He suppressed his rage and offered an obsequious smile. "Alright, if it'll make you feel better then I shall leave. By the way, when will you be giving me the thing you promised… How about after you finished eating?"
